The wicked desire things for pleasure, for profit, or for vanity. Not all wicked desire violence or drugs. But do they really expect wrath? I can believe they ignore what will make other people or authorities mad. But do they really expect wrath to happen to them? Do they even bother to think about being accountable to God when they do those things?
Or is the "expectation of the wicked" referring to the righteous' expectation of the wicked? The righteous can fall into wrong desires too, so we cannot just point a finger at them.
The righteous get their desire from God or the Bible. One big advantage of being righteous is that we can identify desires we need to get rid of or control.
